season got underway, Virginia Tech took
time to honor the 32 who lost their
life last school year.

A moment of silence fell across
Lane Stadium as everyone reflected on
those Hokies who are no longer in this
crowd.

At the close of the national

And balloons were released for
each of the victims.

Yet, it was a minute long video
that played in their remembrance that
evoked emotions for many in the crowd.

THE SPIRIT IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH. I

OQ= That spirit was very visible by

the sea of orange and maroon school
colors that filled the campus.

To support Virginia Tech as it
moves forward, opponents East Carolina
presented a 100 thousand dollar
donation to the Hokie Spirit Memorial
Fund.

Governor Tim Kaine was on the
field for that presentation and to
greet some first responders who were
also recognized for their contribution.

Center. I hope you are up and off to a
CK/SKYTRACKER great day! A few scattered clouds this
morning, but look for mostly sunny
skies to prevail throughout the day.
CK/WEATHERPRO High pressure will control our weather
pattern for much of the next week.
Highs will be comfortable in the low
and mid 80s with low humidity. Clear to
partly cloudy skies tonight with lows
near 60. Labor Day (Monday) and Tuesday
look for mostly sunny skies and highs
in the low and mid 90s. The rest of the
week temperatures will be slightly
above average in the mid and upper 80s
with mostly to partly sunny conditions.
There's a weak cold front coming
through around next Saturday, but this
is looking moisture starved right now.
Look for partly sunny skies next
weekend (20% shower chance Saturday)
and highs in the lower 80s. Have a
great Sunday!

London -LEAD IN-- --REPORTER PKG-AS
FOLLOWS-- THIS LONDON PUBLIC RELATIONS
COMPANY IS A FACEBOOK FRIENDLY
WORKPLACE. AT SOME POINT DURING THE DAY
PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE HERE GETS INVOLVED
IN ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKING. SOME, LIKE
ABBIE COHEN, DO IT MORE THAN OTHERS.
"Do you waste time at work on
facebook?" "No never." THAT'S NOT WHAT
HER COLLEAGUES SAY. "How many facebook
friends do you have?" "About 270...
which isn't... I mean, some people have
loads. Some people have 500. So it's
not that many." ABBIE IS JUST ONE
OFFICE WORKER CAUGHT UP IN A WORLD WIDE
PHENOMENON. SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES
LIKE FACEBOOK.. MY SPACE AND BEBO..
THAT PROVIDE ANOTHER WAY OF STAYING IN
TOUCH WITH PEOPLE.. AND ESCAPING OFFICE

EXISTENCE. FOR BOSSES IT IS NEW
TECHNOLOGY BUT AN OLD DEBATE -- ARE
PERSONAL DISTRACTIONS ON THE JOB
ACCEPTABLE? "The technology and
people's use of the technology has
outpaced bosses understanding of the
technology itself." NIALL MCKINNEY
CONDUCTED A SURVEY FOR THE MARKETING
INDUSTRY WHICH HE SAYS PROVES
FACEBOOKING AT WORK IS NOT A BIG DEAL.
"People on average spent less than ten
minutes a day on facebook and not only
that only around 17 percent of people
use facebook while they're at work. So
while people are using social
networking sites in the workplace,
they're not on average using it
excessively." BUT AN INCREASING NUMBER
OF BOSSES DISAGREE AND HAVE BANNED
SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES IN THEIR
OFFICES. THE BANS HAVE INSPIRED THE
CREATION OF FACEBOOK PROTEST GROUPS,
DEMANDING MORE TRUST FROM THEIR
EMPLOYERS. BUT OTHER GROUPS AREN'T
HELPING THE CAUSE -- THESE PAGES ARE
DEDICATED TO SELF CONFESSED OFFICE
SLACKERS WHO BOAST ABOUT SPENDING MUCH
OF THEIR WORKING DAY ON FACEBOOK.
THAT'S THE EXTREME END.. BUT FOR MANY

IT HAS BECOME A DAILY TEMPTATION. "I
think there's definitely a tendency to
go on it too much and it can be
distracting but as long as you manage
it effectively I think it can be quite
useful." REPORTER STAND UP OBVIOUSLY I
HAVE A VERY GOOD EXCUSE FOR USING
FACEBOOK AT WORK TODAY AND WOULD NEVER
DO SO NORMALLY. EMPLOYER GROUPS SAY
SITES LIKE THIS REDUCE PRODUCTIVITY
BECAUSE UNLIKE PERSONAL EMAILS AND
PHONECALLS, THEY ARE NOT LIMITED TO
STRAIGHT COMMUNICATION. YOU CAN SPEND
HOURS BROWSING YOUR FRIENDS' SITES OR
MAKING YOUR OWN MORE IMPRESSIVE.
FACEBOOK ALONE HAS MORE THAN 37 MILLION
USERS. BOSSES WHO WANT ONLINE
NETWORKING OUT OF THE WORKPLACE ARE
FACING OFF AGAINST A GLOBAL ARMY OF
WORKERS THAT GROWS BIGGER EVERY DAY.
